Smoked Cedar Plank Salmon
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 pound salmon filet
  • 1 plank food-safe wood, such as untreated cedar or alder wood
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh dill, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, as indicated by the manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure you follow the specific temperature instructions provided with your smoker.
2
In a heat-resistant container, mix softened butter, minced garlic, three sprigs of fresh dill, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Place the mixture in the smoker and allow it to infuse with flavor for at least 20 minutes. Remove from the heat source.
3
Place a salmon fillet on a wooden smoking plank, brushing it evenly with the flavored butter. Add a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Close the smoker door and initiate cooking.
4
Cook the salmon until it becomes tender and easily breaks apart with a fork, approximately 40 minutes. Periodically check on the salmon and baste it with the remaining flavored butter to maintain moisture.
5
Serve the smoked salmon hot, garnished with slices of lemon, additional sprigs of fresh dill, and a pat of the remaining flavored butter.
